In order to assess the bio prospecting of fish processing wastes as natural wealth to obtain value added bioactive compounds, the visceral wastes of Carangoides malabaricus were characterized. This study involves the characterization of crude visceral protease extract from C. malabaricus and its potential application as a destainer. The optimum activity and stability of the crude visceral protease was observed at pH 9.0 and 50°C. This alkaline proteolytic crude extract was then tested for its potential application as destainer and it showed better stain removing efficiency. Characterization studies revealed that metal ions like Calcium chloride, surfactants like Tween 20 and SDS, inhibitors like PMSF influenced the activity and stability of the crude Visceral Protease. The present study also inferred that, crude visceral protease enzyme from C. malabaricus along with shrimp shell hydrolysate displayed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity (58.11%), Reducing activity (1.89mg/ml) and Chelating ability (73.6%). As a whole, this study confirmed possible application of Visceral Protease from C. malabaricus in detergent and pharmaceutical industries.<#LINE#>Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India (2011).@Annual Report of Department of Animal Husbandry.@Dairying and Fisheries.@No$Nurdiyana, H., & M.K., Siti Mazlina (2009).@Optimization of Protein Extraction from Fish Waste using Response Surface Methodology.@Journal of Applied Sciences, 9(17), 3121-3125.@Yes$FAO (2012).@Report of waste management of fish and fish products.@Fisheries and aquaculture department, Rome.@No$Fuchise, T., Kishimura, H., Sekizaki, H., Nonami, Y., Kanno, G., Klomklao, S., Benjakul, S. & Chun, B.

Alzheimer\'s is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that destroys memory with important mental functions. Parkinson\'s affects the central nervous system, it impairs movement, often including tremors for which there is no cure. Currently dopamine, a neurotransmitter is used in the treatment of these disorders. Tyrosinase (E.C 1.14.18.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes L- Tyrosine into L- DOPA a precursor for the synthesis of dopamine. Tyrosinase is present in sources like fungi, plants, animals. Very few work on tyrosinase has been reported in plants. In our present investigation tyrosinase was isolated and purified from Allium sativum (Garlic ) and enzyme activity was carried out using UV - visible spectroscopy and the enzymatic activity was found to be 180 U/ ml. The kinetic parameters were studied and the optimum temperature was found to be 30ºC and the optimum pH was found to be pH 7. Saturation with increasing substrate concentration was found to be at 1200 U/ml. The enzyme was subjected to a series of purification steps that includes ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The maximum purification fold of the enzyme was found to be 97.58. SDS - PAGE was performed to determine the molecular weight and was reported to be 98 KDa. Hence through this research work, we have tried to identify a novel source of tyrosinase in Allium sativum.<#LINE#>Kanteev, M., Goldfeder, M., & Fishman, A. (2015).

However, the effluent has been known to contain organic and inorganic nutrients and microorganisms which may promote crops growth and productivity, therefore this work studied the influence of the untreated fish pond effluent on the microbiological characteristics of soil and growth of maize crop. The microbial counts of the effluent and soil samples and growth characteristics of the maize crop were obtained using standard analytical methods. The microbial counts of the effluent-receiving soil were higher than those of the effluent samples and unpolluted soil. Bacillus subtilis (18.2%), Escherichia coli (20.5%), Serratia marcescens (13.6%), Pseudomonas fluorescens (15.9%), Lactobacillus plantarum (17.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.8%), Penicillium expansum (45.4%), Aspergillus niger (36.4%) and Aspergillus flavus (18.2%) were isolated from the effluent-receiving soil while the unpolluted soil had Staphylococcus epidermidis (28.3%), E. coli (19.6%), B. subtilis (17.4%), P. fluorescens (10.9%), Micrococcus luteus (8.7%), L. plantarum (6.5%), Kl. pneumoniae (4.3%), S. marcescens (4.3%), P. expansum (40.0%), Aspergillus niger (20.0%) and Aspergillus flavus (40.0%). The maize crop grown on the effluent-receiving soil had better growth characteristics than those planted on the unpolluted soil. This study indicated that the untreated fish pond effluent had positive effect on the soil microbial populations and enhanced the growth of maize crop, therefore, its use in agriculture to enhance soil fertility and crop growth is advocated.<#LINE#>Naylor R.L; Goldberg, R.G; Primavera, J.H; Kautsky, N; Beveridge, M.C.M; Clay, J; Folke, C; Lubchenco, J; Mooney, H. and Troell, M.

The antioxidant activities were evaluated by the DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity (RSA) method and the folin ciocalteu reagent was used to determine the total phenolic content. The results showed that pigmented varieties have DPPH RSA, phenolic content, tannin, vitamin E and protein higher than non-pigmented variety. Gando Keta has DPPH RSA 91.59% higher than Latu Kala (80.63%) and Gando Bura (42.13%). In the second harvesting (first ratoon), the DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity of Gando Keta decreased (14.35%), Latu Kala (52.6%) and Gando Bura (52.49%). The total phenolic content of Gando Keta decreased 20.42%, Latu Kala (9.58%) and Gando Bura (41.19%). Thus, this study informs that Gando Keta has the best antioxidant properties compared to other varieties among local Bima-Indonesian sorghum.<#LINE#>Kinanti P.S.K, B.S Amanto and W. Atmaka (2014).

India were monitored. Maintenance activities carried out on the ancient monuments of Ujjain including Temples for 2016 Simhasth were analyzed. In this study we compared the present condition of these monuments to before Simhasth 2016 of the same. We made comparisons of these monuments by photographs of then and now by using grid counts. The visible biodegraded and biodeteriorated mean area was decreased less than 2% since the time before Simhasth (Chi-Square p<0.004). This improvement was mostly because of eradication of scaled and biofilm areas. This manuscript is an effort to promote comprehensive restoration plans. Also regularly maintaining, conserving and restoring the monuments of ecological importance. In future, this can also serve as new tool for scientific quantification and analysis of stone damage.<#LINE#>De Miguel, J. G., Sanchez-Castillo, L., Ortega-Calvo, J. J., Gil, J.
